Girl, I heard you're getting married

Heard you're getting married, this time you're really sure

And this is the end, they say you really mean it

This guy's the one that makes you feel so safe, so sane and so secure

And, baby, if he loves you more than me

Maybe it's the best thing

Maybe it's the best thing for you

But it's the worst that could happen to me



I'll never get married

Never get married, you know that's not my scene

But a girl like you needs to be married

I've known all along you couldn't live forever in between

And, baby, if he loves you more than me

Maybe it's the best thing

Maybe it's the best thing for you

But it's the worst that could happen to me



And, girl, I don't really blame you for having a dream of your own

Hey, girl, I don't really blame you

A woman like you needs a house and a home, baby

If he really loves you more than me

Maybe it's the best thing

Maybe it's the best thing for you

But it's the worst that could happen



Oh, girl, don't wanna get married

Girl, I'm never, never gonna marry, no no

No, it's the worst that could happen

The worst that could happen

Oh, girl, the worst that could happen
